Thanks for your reply. I was hoping that I could avoid hardcoding NEW.col1,
etc, so that the function could be used for multiple relations. I've also
tried to declare the input parameter to the function as a tuple, but PLpgSQL
never gets that far -- it doesn't seem to support passing NEW as a
parameter.

Oh, well. I will probably just write all of my logic into a C function and
skip PLpgSQL entirely. That's too bad because it would be far simpler (and
preferrable IMHO) to write a generic trigger function in PLpgSQL and call C
functions for only certain operations that PLpgSQL does not directly
support.
